Petroleum refining
In Netherlands, the sub-sector Petroleum refining (part of Energy) was responsible for 9.42 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 5.6% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (11.04 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 14.6%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 4.49 Mt CO₂eq by 2040.
What is part of this sector? Emissions from the refining of crude oil by oil refineries. Emissions arise from the combustion of fuels, flaring and thermal cracking.
This sub-sector accounts for 19.2% of Energy emissions in Netherlands.
